That is much better description. Also $ cd t && GIT_FORCE_PRELOAD_TEST=t ./t0000-basic.sh would have allowed us to enable the feature in the older world, but I suspect it would instead fail the test, saying 't is not a bool nor int'. So strictly speaking, it is a backward incompatible change. I am not sure if I like it. >> Teach GIT_FORCE_PRELOAD_TEST to take a boolean to turn on or off this test >> feature instead of simply testing for existance. s/existance/existence/?
